With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

Much of the power of modern Web comes from the ability of a Web page to combine content
and JavaScript code from disparate servers on the same page. While the ability to create …

During the last decade, there has been a considerable interest in using Linux in real‐time
systems, especially for industrial control. The simple and elegant design of Linux guarantees …

Prior work has identified several optimal algorithms for scheduling independent, implicit-
deadline sporadic (or periodic) real-time tasks on identical multiprocessors. These …

A large class of embedded systems is distinguished from general-purpose computing
systems by the need to satisfy strict requirements on timing, often under constraints on …

Recent years have witnessed two major trends in the development of complex real-time
embedded systems. First, to reduce cost and enhance flexibility, multiple systems are …

The study of parallel task models executed with predictable scheduling approaches is a
fundamental problem for real-time multiprocessor systems. Nevertheless, to date, limited …

Semi-partitioned schedulers are--in theory--a particularly promising category of
multiprocessor real-time scheduling algorithms. Unfortunately, issues pertaining to their …

Recurrent (periodic and sporadic) task systems have traditionally been scheduled upon
multiprocessor platforms using either the partitioned or the global approach. Under the …

Advancement of Cyber-Physical Systems has attracted attention to Mixed-Criticality Systems
(MCSs), both in research and in industrial designs. As multicore platforms are becoming the …
